Red Kite, a great brand, was kept, as was Toonlink, again with an improved livery, whereas the the rather meaningless Lime name was updated. X21 is more than a fast bus to Durham as it serves Bishop Auckland, the OK area, where it has a relevance to many people. I still think non branded red vehicles should be called Northern, much more dynamic, and that's the name it's known by most passengers. Go North East sounds like a tourist board or an organisation to promote the regional economy.
The Blaydon racers look much better on the citaro's than the ones on the yellow back ground of the B10's.
